Hi all, just moved into a new house have zero experience in replacing light fittings so any advise world be great thanks.
All pictures attached.
1. The first part is that I have bought this light fitting, as it was too long I cut the wire length it was copper on the top and as you can now see the wires are silver coloured are they still ok to be connected to the ceiling fitting.
2. Secondly from what I understand the wire labelled N would go next to the blue cable in the ceiling fitting. Then the wire labelled S would go next to the brown wire in the light fitting can you let me know it's that's all correct?
3.Lastly where would the earth wire from the light fitting go, we connected it to the earth wire in the ceiling fitting but when we turned the light on the switch made a buzzing noise.
I understand being this clueless I may need to get an electrician on so if that's the only advice no problem.
Thanks in advance
